There is close rivalry between the apple states as to which shall take the chief prizes, and on this account the Oregon growers will be put upon their mettle. Eugene has held its apple show aud many specimens of perfect fruit were exhibited. Albany will have a fine apple show on November 9, 10 and 11. There 'is keen interest in the outcome and the many prizes will be sharply contested for. These shows will bring out the best ap ples in their localities and the prize fruit, together with that of other soctions, will be sent to the Oregon Apple Show at Portland November 30, December 1 and 2. The best apples will, in turn, go to the National Apple Show at Spokane, the Vancouver show and the Chicago Apple Show. Some Oregon districts will make individual displays at these fruit expositions. Hood River expects to send the two finest cars of apples ever leaving that district to the Spokane show. One car each of Spitzenbergsand Yellow Newton apples will be entered for the sweep stakes prize, and as the showing will be be gathered from the large acre age given to growing these vari eties, it will be of a very high quality. Medford will make a strong showing at the Canadian Na tional Apple show at Vancouver, -B. C. A car of fancy Yellow Newton Pippins will be sent from one orchard. Medford people believe this will be as fine a car load of yellow apples as has ever been placed on exhibition. Med ford will also send exhibits to Spokane and Chicago. The Columbia River is being restocked with Sockeye Salmon. The first shipment of 1,500,000 eggs from the Yes Bay, Alaska, hatchery is on the way here and will be hatched at Bonneville and the young fish liberated in the Columbia River when they reach a suitable size. A similar num ber of eggs will be brought from Alaska and hatched here each season for four years in succes sion and it is thought that at the end of that time this variety of salmon will be much more plenti ful in the Columbia and its tribu taries.

King, who is a candidate for re-election to the Supreme Court of Oregon, has made an enviable record on the supreme bench, where he has been for four years. He has been the author of the opinions on many noteworthy cases,' some 0f them so complex that many weeks are required to examine the law and evidence and write the decision. His opinion in the j the Ann Arbor Law school. Ii;s i decision in Straw vs. Harris, up i held and clarified the initiative and referendum system. In spite of the thoroughness of his work on each individual opinion, Judge K ng's total product has been as great as that of any supreme i judge in many years. The Non-Political Judiciary movement, whicli was started by the State Bar Association in July has as its object the removal of the supreme court beyond the reach of political influence. The Non-Political Judiciary move ment endorsed Judge King, so a vote for him is a vote to take the supreme court out of politics and free it from all party obligations. George II. Bennett, who is seeking Justice King.s place on the bench, is the nominee of the Republican Assembly and before his selection declared he would not be a candidate unless he re ceived the nomination of the Republican Assembly. He is accordingly on record as in favor of having politics govern the supreme court election. There is no good reason why a good judge should be put off the bench on account of politics and another judge put in his place on account of polotics. Justices Slater, Moore and McBride also have the endorsement of the Non Political Judiciary movement.
